I’m quitting my job tomorrow and I’m nervous that my Leo boss will get mad 😡 please help!!

So tomorrow is going to be a hard day for me. I have to talk to my boss and give her my two weeks notice.

I’m nervous because I have a difficult boss. She’s a Leo ♌️ She can be crazy sometimes when she’s mad. Right now I’m the only person she has in her department so she relies on me for almost all the tasks.

I’m quitting because a close family member offered me a job in her company with a better salary and opportunity for growth.

So that’s what I’ll tell my boss but I wouldn’t know what to say if she starts to guilt trip me. For example, last year I asked her if I could use my vacation days. She said yes, but a day before my vacation she made me feel bad for leaving her with all the work load. Can you imagine how she’s going to feel when I tell her I’m leaving this time but not coming back—? 😧 I need to be prepared. What should I say if she starts making me feel bad for leaving, especially since we’re understaffed?

I don't know how to tell you specifically how to deal with a situation like this. I actually have the same problem with people at times. I actually feel nervous thinking about, and it's not even my problem lol. Best thing is just stick to your decision, and turn off your feel bad mode. It's not always easy, but you just have to look forward and stick to the better path. She will simply have to deal with it. That's why she is in the boss position. No matter how bad she might try to make you feel, replacing you and moving forward is what she gets paid to do. She honestly should be thankful you stuck around and accomplished what you did. An employee moving forward in life should be celebrated imo. So if she wants to be petty, just finish up your two weeks best you can and move forward.

If I were you I'd give notice and if she acts pissey I'd ask for my last pay and leave. Forget giving notice. Why do you care what she thinks when you aren't going to see her again?

It's about you and your (better) future, so stand your ground and stop feeling guilty. if she asked for 2 weeks notice in your contract, it means she could find someone else pretty quickly.

The two week notice is a curtesy. If she gives any kind of attitude towards you then remove that curtesy.

The fact that you are the last one standing in her department says it all. High turn over rates speak to a systemic issue within the company/management.

Just repeat this mantra to yourself as she rants at you when she hears the bad news. “Not my monkey, not my show”.

I put in my notice and last day today too. Woke up and remembered that and felt an instant boost to my mood. Strangely enough dont know much about the boss he's kind of new but one time I asked him if he was a 70s baby too he kind of seemed to agree but at later date he said he's turning 60 something in the Summer so may be Leo dont know. I did feel like not leaving job hanging but somehow everything lined up and no longer cared. Figured I'd give notice one week quit next not full "2 week notice" but close enough cause what are ya gonna do?

In these situations you don’t owe a person two weeks

I’d show up

Pick up my stuff n leaved

I’d communicate with HR not her about quitting. N do the above

but you can't just ghost or just not show up?

I'm surprised by all the comments mentioning that you don't even have to leave a 2 weeks notice.. what does your contract say about that by the way? Cause here the contract mentions a certain duration to inform the company before leaving or you will face a fine. Noone does it but it's by the law where I live.

Noone follows it anyway, but I think giving a notice before leaving is done out of respect anyway to yourself and the place you gave your time and effort to (nvm the boss) It's about being responsible enough and giving them time to find a replacement.

I am not sure if any who posted have their own business, but trust me it's really chaotic when someone leaves suddenly without handing in the work to the next employee who'd do the job after you.

Whatever you choose, good luck! I hope you leave on good terms

You're not a slave. If she wants to keep you she should pay and treat you better. Why would she think that you will choose to stay at a place that gives you less. Just quit and tell her you've been offered more elsewhere. You don't owe her anything.
